Baldy Mountain, also called Baldy Peak, Mount Baldy, or Old Baldy, is the highest peak in the Cimarron Range, a subrange of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of
New Mexico. It is located in Colfax County, New Mexico. Copper and gold were mined in the area starting in 1866, and the top of Baldy Mountain was developed as the Mystic Lode copper mine. Mine workings and prospects are still evident on the slopes of the mountain and there are about 70 miles of mines in inside the mountain. A total of $4 million was made from the gold in the mountain.
